TEMPERATURE SWING AND OFFSET SETTING:
A thermostat works by
turning your heating or cooling system on and off whenever the room
temperature varies from the desired set-point temperature. The amount
of this variation is called the swing. Generally your system should cycle
on about 3 to 6 times per hour. A smaller swing number makes the
system cycle more frequently, so the room temperature is more precise
and constant. A larger swing number will make the system remain on for
a longer duration each time and decreases the number of cycles per hour.
There is only one Swing setting, and this determines the cut-in and cut-
out points for both the first and second stages (if present), in both Heat
mode and Cool mode.
NOTE: The Swing and Offset settings need to be performed in a timely
manner, as the thermostat will timeout and automatically exit these
adjustment screens after approximately 10 seconds without a button
press.
TO CHANGE THE SWING SETTING: Ensure that the System Mode switch
is in the OFF position and the Set Slide switch is in the RUN position.
Press and hold the HOLD button for at least 5 seconds. The words “SET”
and “SWING” will appear on the screen, along with a single flashing digit.
Use the UP/DOWN buttons to change the number value between 1 and 9
(0.25F to 2.25F, in 0.25F degree increments). Number 1 is the default
setting. Press the NEXT button to accept the swing setting and proceed
to the OFFSET setting.
TO CHANGE THE OFFSET: After the Swing value has been accepted, the
words “SET” and “OFFSET” will be shown on the screen, along with a
flashing digit. This setting is shown as a number of degrees, and is
similar in nature to the Swing however this only effects the operation of
the second (auxiliary) heating stage, if present. The setting range for
Offset is from 0 to 9 degrees. When set to 0 degrees, the second heating
stage is completely disabled while in regular Heat mode (Emergency Heat
mode will still function for heat pump configurations). An Offset value
from 1 to 9 degrees will determine the number of degrees from the set
point that will be required for the second heating stage to turn on. This
setting can be used to conserve energy in situations where the second
heating stage is more costly to operate when compared to the first stage.
